Experience

As the Mayor, before we had a city manager, I was highly involved in the day-to-day operations of the city. I expanded several departments to accommodate the needs from our growth. After a city manager was added to our staff, much of that oversight was shifted to him. This resulted in more time available for important jobs like building unity and a sense of belonging for all of our residents. I have continued my focus on the things that are unique to West Haven, particularly our outdoor amenities and outdoor recreation programs.

As a council member, I oversaw the building of our new cemetery.  I led many projects to expand and improve our parks system, including construction of tennis and basketball courts and score boards at the Sports Park.  In my responsibility to oversee West Haven Heritage Days, I led the volunteer committee in expanding Heritage Days to a 4-day event.

I also began Heart of the Holidays, a community event in November that kicks off the holiday season with lights, music, hay rides, and refreshments.

I was appointed to the West Haven Special Service District board of directors in January 2007, where I served until I took office in January 2010.

I am a home-based accountant working for Precision Care, P.C., a West Haven business and Shabby 2 Sheek Salon.


Shortly after graduation, I worked as a corporate budget analyst for Iomega Corporation for 18 months before moving to Oklahoma. As an analyst, I supported several departments including Marketing, Facilities, IT, Human Resources, Legal, and CEO. During college, I worked for the same company both as a payroll and accounts payable clerk. I also worked for Ogden City in Risk Management and Human Resources.
